Challenge

  • Inefficient operations and limited control: multiple 3PL facilities with inconsistent technology, made it difficult for Ariat to control operations and end-customer experience.
  • Physically demanding work environment: employees were strained by physical labor, walking up to 22 miles a day and lifting bulky boxes.
  • Manual processes and high SKU velocity: facilities were plagued by inefficiencies due to manual processes and high SKU velocity, leading to overnight work to configure efficient throughput sequences.

Solution

  • Gained operational efficiency and control: Infios WM provided a centralized, flexible, and scalable solution that allows Ariat to optimize operations and have full control over their distribution hub.
  • Improved working conditions with reduced physical labor: Infios WM integration with Geekplus Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) significantly reduced physical demands on employees, decreasing steps from 40,000 to 7,000 per day.
  • Enhanced accuracy and productivity: ease of use combined with cross-checking at picking stations increases accuracy and productivity, leading to more satisfied customers.
  • Simplified training and rapid deployment boosts morale: an intuitive user interface, streamlined processes and simplified training accelerated implementation and empowered employees.

“By eliminating hours of manual labor, we can reinvest in high-value services, enhance end-of-line quality and allocate resources to customer-focused areas of the business.”
